FISHING- DEVICE.

Application filed April 28, 1922. Serial No. 557,189.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that we, JosnrH SUBERT and ANTON JnDLIoKA, citizens of the United States of America, residing'at 1516 Euclid Avenue, Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois, and 2313 So. 62nd Court, Berwyn, Cook County, Illinois, respectively, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fishing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fishing devices and has for its object the provisionof a combined fish line holder and alarm.

It is also an object to provide a simple and novel construction for a fishline holder which could be used independently of the alarm. v

With these and other objects in View our invention consists in the novel construction, combination and relative position of the parts and members hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim. 7

Referring to the drawing in which like reference characters indicate like or corresponding parts:

Figure 1 illustrates a front elevation of a fish line holder and alarm embodying our invention and Figure 2 a side elevation thereof. 7

Referring to the illustrations, the alarm and line holder comprises a rod alarm bell holder 10 which can be'pointed at one end or preferably provided with screw 11 for securing into operative position as indicated. flattened at 10 and pivotally mounted at 14 to a fiat band 12 which engages the line holder 13. Also pivotally supported about the pivotal pin 14 is a resilient or wire alarm support 15 which extends through the outwardly or laterallydisposed end 10 of the flattened portion 10*. The upper end, which is coiled as at 15 terminates with a bell alarm 16.

The other end of the holder 10 is The line holder indicated generally by numeral 13, comp rises two wire frame members 1? and 18, retained together with suitable end bands 1 porting band 12.

9 and by member 17 midw the band 12 and its ends to form ay its length and between flaring outwardly toward ears 18 which extend beyond its end portions 18 The end portions 18 are together with the ends of the inner frame, held secur ely by the bands 19 which form'smooth ends about which the fish line is wound as shown by dot and dash lines 20.

It is obvious that in fishing, only the de sired length of line need be unwound from the holder 13, and the balance retained on the holder. The

used portion of theline is given a few turns in the coil portion 15 and the entire device is then screw mounted where desired to signal or alarm each bite pull of the fi sh on the line. The line holder can be positioned as shown either in full or in the dotted line position.

We claim A fish line holder comprising a wire frame having an inner section, an outer both sections mid beyond its ends substantially rectangular section, a band embracing way their ends, said outer section having the corners thereof extending and the adjacent ends of said inner rectangular section. and secur- .ing bands extending between said extending corne s and embr acing the adjacent ends of said inner and outer sections.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name March, 1922.
